I have Postgresql 9.2.10 streaming replication set up with log shipping in

If at some point in time the streaming replication fell behind and the
standby server was not able to retrieve the necessary WAL file(s) from the
primary, would the standby server continue to function normally?  Do I need
to rebuild the standby server?  I have restarted the standby server and it
is up and running with no issues.

Well that seems at odds with it being unable to retrieve the WAL files. This leads to these questions:

1) What makes you think it did not retrieve the WAL files via streaming?
​        
It may not have fallen behind via replication.  We do have standby servers that fall behind, but since we have log-shipping it is not a concern.  On this server, i have no idea how long we were running without log-shipping.  I have no idea how many log files I would have to go through to find out when log-shipping stopped.
My basic question is:
If a standby server falls behind with streaming replication AND the standby server cannot obtain the WAL file needed from the primary, will you get an error from the standby server?  Or does it just hiccup and try to carry on?​
 

2) What does the postgres log show at the time you restarted the standby?

  I need to know if the
data integrity has been compromised.

I have run this query to determine the lag time for the standby(in case
this tells me anything):
"SELECT now(), now() - pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp()  AS time_lag;
RESULT:
"2015-06-19 00:40:48.83701+00";"00:00:01.078616"


Thank you,
Paula P
